Howard A Dixon

Howard Alexander Dixon “Spooky” was born on September 13, 1943, to Willa Mae Dixon and the late William Alexander. He grew up in Walnut Hills, attended Windsor Elementary School and graduated from Withrow High School in 1961. Following his graduation from Withrow High School he entered the U.S. Navy and 4 years later received an Honorable Discharge.

In 2013 he married his longtime love Renee Means, who preceded him in death. Spooky, also known as “HAD2”, had the purest heart and he loved his family, good people, good food, and living a good life. His favorite pastimes were fishing and gaming at the Casino.

Spooky was preceded in death by his father William Alexander and wife Renee Means Dixon. He leaves to cherish his memory his mother Willa Mae Bolden, four children Lisa Youngblood (Randall), Lionrick Bolar (Roslyn), Rhea Posey, Joshua Brandy and stepson Damon Means, five grandchildren Roman Marichal Hill Sr., Dominque Anthony Hill Sr., Gabrielle Bolar, DeVauna Lee Bolar, and Nathaniel Brandy, five sisters Gail Dean, Valita Karen Spears, Gina Williams, Robin Gay (Kevin), Vicky Pye, two brothers Ron Staples and Shane Pye (Ava), Cincinnati and a stepbrother Jymi Bolden (Lin).
